4354 The Other Side 323

The boy did not know when he had lost consciousness. When he woke again, he found himself in a large hospital ward. The reason he recognized the ward was that when he opened his eyes, all he could see was a blanket of white. He could even smell disinfectant.

His head was spinning. It took him a moment to adjust and realize that he was in the world that Romanka had created for the hypnosis.

Was this the dreamscape? Or some dimension of space?

He remembered Alice telling him that he needed to be on guard against anyone he met in this world. What might appear here could be the dangerous personality living in seclusion in his body!

The boy was immediately on the alert. He rolled out of bed, looked around to make sure there was no one else in this ward, and began to search the room.

The ward was huge and well-equipped. Apart from the normal facilities in the hospital, which included potions, needles…

The boy actually felt a chill. He was especially afraid of such spaces. He had been in the hospital much of the time as a child and he hated such an environment. Now that he was in such a space, it was inevitable that his heart started to pound.

Professor Romanka had said that he would summon Gong Fan’s personality over as well. However, if Gong Fan appeared, the other personalities might also appear. Moreover, he wouldn’t be able to tell if the person who would appear was Gong Fan or someone else.

Casually picking up a scalpel from the trolley, the boy went to the door and cautiously pushed it open. Beyond lay a vast, empty hallway.

On either side, there was a long corridor. From his angle, it was impossible to tell where the corridor ended.

Each corridor corresponded to a row of floor-to-ceiling windows. However, strangely, while the sunlight outside was clearly so bright and warm, it had difficulty getting through the windows. It was as though it had been obstructed by an invisible barrier, so that the long corridor seemed especially dark.

Youyou went to the window and pushed it open. The strong wind rushed in. He looked down and was shocked to see that the floor he was on was more than ten meters above the ground. From the looks of it, it was about five stories high.

The boy shut the window and looked around. After much deliberation, he decided to head towards the right.

“Because I’m Youyou!” he muttered to himself, referring to his own name, which sounded similar to the word for ‘right’ in Chinese… an attempt at humor in a stark situation.

As he walked, he suddenly heard footsteps overlapping his own.

He had a very acute sense of hearing. The boy stopped dead in his tracks, alert, his back to the wall, trying to listen carefully for exactly where the footsteps were coming from. Even more chilling was the fact that when he stopped, the footsteps stopped instantly.

Could it be an echo of his own footsteps? Could he have been so sensitive that he mistook the echo of his own footsteps for the footsteps of others?

Impossible…

Those footsteps were much faster than his own.

The boy took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down quickly.

Alice had once said that no matter what happened to him in the dream, he was the main personality and could never be destroyed!
